Looking for a Code review tool for ruby(checkstyle)

I have been looking around for something like checkstyle (Java code
review tool) for ruby.
http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/availablechecks.html
Has anyone here ever come across a similar dilema wherein we need to
enforce the quality of ruby code written in different projects.
What strategy could we adopt?
Plan B would be to maybe use a web based code review tool with manual
reviews, but thats really going back.

cheers…

The best code review tool is another person. Preferrably versed in the
way
of the Ruby.

Hi Jet,
This is the only one I could find, haven’t tried it yet, but it seems
promising, if a bit young:

Metric_fu includes roodi - it’s a decent place to start.

I’ve personally found that (as Ryan suggested) the best “review” is a
human reading the code. This is easier in Ruby than in Java, since
there’s considerably less visual noise in a well-written block of
Ruby.

The metric_fu tools do identify several of the remaining issues (code
duplication, excessive cyclomatic complexity,etc) but aren’t really
intended to be used proscriptively (in other words, making a hard rule
“no complexity ratings over 5 EVAR!” will lead to problems) but rather
as a roadmap for detailed human review.
